Email Trouble

Marilyn — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 21:42:35 +0000

Oh nos! I was just notified by a friend that they received an email supposedly from me (my name at my name dot com), but that it looked suspiciously like spam, and so my friend was smart enough not to open it.

I never send out anything from my name at my name dot com that isn’t about art. Nothing about that male drug that starts with a V, nothing having to do with Russian girls, nothing having to do with bedroom recreational activities, nothing that isn’t about art, and usually about my art!

I have my email settings at my host set up with the tightest security and spam filters, so I can only conjecture that whoever is using my name at my name dot com is spoofing my email address.

So, please, do not open anything that isn’t about art that seems to be from me.

I am looking into the problems and possible solutions (if there are any).

Sigh!

Download Problem Fixed

Yikes! I just discovered there was a terrible delay in download times since my last major edits a few weeks ago! I traced the problem to a new plugin used to display random images on my home page (one each time you reload the page). I have deactivated and replaced that plugin, and all is well again. Sorry for the delays!!!

Art Pages in Maintenance

Wed. evening. If you see this message, there are still some anomalies happening on my art pages, while I do some database upgrading. It should not affect the the rest of the site.

UPDATE: Thursday morning; most pages are working, except the Tornado paintings; trying to find where the glitch is.

UPDATE 2: Late Thursday evening (or rather, early Friday Morning): Success, at last, and I went ahead and did some reorganization and editing. Hope you like it.
